If Switzerland is such a wonderful country, why do so many Swiss people live abroad? In 2015, 7.41% of all the citizens of Switzerland lived outside their country of origin, and one of the highest percentages in Western Europe.

what does uber rich mean?
because if you are not at least fourth gen local and/or uber rich and/or uber talented and white, you are effectively worse than the pets the swiss keep in their houses for entertainment purposes.

Isn't having a few million € and speaking the local language* enough to have a decent life in Switzerland?
*= Hochdeutsch + Swiss German, if you live in the German part (?)

Swiss bro here. Life for the lower and middle classes is not necessarily better than somewhere else. But the lower classes do indirectly benefit of the wealth that surrounds them (clean roads, decent public services, relatively low taxes). Perhaps the worst aspect of Switzerland for those on low incomes or no income (students) is mandatory health insurance, which has become very costly.

Isn't it subsidized for low-income groups? I agree it's costly. IMO the people who are the worst off are the ones who don't qualify for assistance but don't make enough to enjoy their salary after basic costs.

The previous poster said uber rich.
I'm not saying that having a few millions is easy.
But I wonder about this:
if you do indeed have a few millions and move there, assuming no problems with the language, what's your life like? -

You are correct. But in other countries, e.g. UK basic healthcare is free at the point of delivery for all, so for students or other no/low income people it is clearly better. Of course this is financed with much higher taxed (income, VAT, etc.)
